The power and elegance of Krupp Brothers' Atlas Peak Syrah is tamed with the seductively aromatic Carpy Ranch Rutherford Viognier. There is a first for everything, and this blend is a testament that experiments can be successful! The Freemark Abbey winemaking team sourced the Syrah from one of Krupp Brothers' best Syrah blocks at 1500' elevation. It was double sorted, cold soaked for five days before inoculation and given an extended maceration for 30 days. The Viognier was fermented in stainless steel at 50*F for 30 days. 95% Syrah, 5% Viognier. A toast to Côte-Rôtie!
